                GENZYME TRANSGENICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



      1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

               These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
               should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
               on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000 and the
               financial statements and footnotes included therein. Certain
               information and footnote disclosures normally included in
               financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
               accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
               pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
               regulations.

               The financial statements as of October 1, 2000 and for the
               three and nine months ended October 1, 2000 and October 3,
               1999 are unaudited but include, in the Company's opinion, all
               adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring
               adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for
               the periods presented.

      2.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

               The accounting policies underlying the quarterly financial
               statements are those set forth in Note 2 of the financial
               statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
               10-K for the year ended January 2, 2000.

               Per share information is based upon the weighted average
               number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the
               period. Common stock equivalents consisting of warrants and
               stock options, totaled 3 million at October 1, 2000 and common
               stock equivalents consisting of warrants, stock options and
               convertible preferred stock, totaled 5.5 million at October 1,
               1999. Since the Company was in a net loss position in the
               periods ended October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999, these
               common stock equivalents were not used to compute diluted loss
               per share, as the effect was antidilutive.

               Included in the net loss for the nine months ended October 1,
               2000 is the Company's equity in the loss of a joint venture of
               $3,185,000 which represents the Company's commitment to fund
               its 30% share of the losses incurred in 2000 of the joint
               venture between the Company and Genzyme Corporation ("ATIII
               LLC"). Total net losses of the ATIII LLC in the first nine
               months of 2000 were $10.6 million and the ATIII LLC did not
               record any revenues.

          At January 2, 2000, the amortized cost and estimated fair value
          of the Company's marketable securities was $42,000.

          At October 1, 2000, the contractual maturities of the
          Company's short-term investments available for sale range from
          over 3 months to 24 months. All of the Company's investments
          are classified as short-term which is consistent with their
          intended use.

         3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

             In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
             ("FASB") released FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
             Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"),
             an interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
             25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). FIN
             44 provides guidance for certain issues that arise in applying
             APB 25. The adoption of FIN 44 has not had a significant
             effect on our financial position and results of operations.

         4.  NON-EMPLOYEE OPTIONS:

             The Company had outstanding options to non-employees which
             have been accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues
             Task Force ("EITF") 96-18 and FASB Interpretation No. 28 ("FIN
             28"), which require the Company to remeasure the fair value of
             these options at each reporting period prior to vesting and
             then finally at the vesting date of the option. The Company
             had a number of outstanding options held by individuals who
             were employed by Genzyme Corporation, and who were
             "non-employees" for purposes of FIN 28. Due to the decrease
             and subsequent stability of the Company's stock price in 1998
             and 1999, the amounts expensed for those years were not
             significant. During 2000, the Company recorded $1.7 million of
             expense relating to these options to reflect the increase in
             value of the Company's common stock and the acceleration of
             the vesting of unvested options held by non-employees who
             were employed by Genzyme Corporation effective June 30, 2000.

         5.  INCOME TAXES:

             Due to the profitability of some if its contract research
             laboratories in certain states, the Company has recorded a
             provision for income taxes for the period ended October 1,
             2000. This is solely a provision for state, not federal,
             income taxes.

         6.  FACILITY CONSOLIDATION COSTS:

             During the first quarter of 2000, the Company paid $282,000
             relating to the facility consolidation reserve recorded in
             1999, which had a balance of $943,000 at January 2, 2000. Of
             this amount, $64,000 related to severance and $218,000 related
             to rental and lease terminations.

             During the second quarter of 2000, the Company paid an additional
             $234,000 of which $85,000 related to severance and $149,000 related
             to rental and lease terminations.

             During the third quarter of 2000, the Company paid an additional
             $61,000 of which $42,000  related to severance and $19,000 related
             to rental and lease terminations.

             The Company recorded a reduction to the reserve of $15,000,
             $18,000 and $24,000 in each quarter ended October 1, 2000,
             July 2, 2000 and April 2, 2000, respectively, based on changed
             circumstances. Similarly, the Company has increased the rental
             and lease termination reserves for an additional $16,000,
             $18,000 and $78,000 at October 1, 2000, July 2, 2000 and April
             2, 2000, respectively, based on changed circumstances. These
             reductions and changes have been included in selling, general
             and administrative expenses in 2000. The remaining balance of
             the severance accrual and the rental and lease termination
             accrual as of October 1, 2000 was $4,000 and $0, respectively.

         7.  PUBLIC OFFERING:

             In February 2000, the Company completed a public offering of
             3.5 million shares of common stock at $20 per share. The
             underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional
             525,000 shares of its common stock to cover overallotments. In
             total, the Company issued 4,025,000 shares, including the
             underwriter's overallotment, with net proceeds to the Company
             of $75 million. After the completion of the public offering,
             the Company paid down the outstanding balance of $15.8 million
             on its revolving credit line which remains fully available for
             future borrowing.

                                          8

             In conjunction with the offering, the Company issued a Notice
             of Redemption to Genzyme for all outstanding shares of the
             Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B
             Preferred Stock"). Prior to the effectiveness of this
             redemption, Genzyme converted the Series B Preferred Stock
             into 1,048,021 shares of common stock. The Company paid a cash
             dividend of $157,000 in conjunction with the conversion of
             which $83,000 and $74,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter
             of 1999 and the second quarter of 2000, respectively. As a
             result of the offering, the $6.3 million Genzyme credit line
             was eliminated. As of October 1, 2000, Genzyme owned
             approximately 26.5% of the Company's common stock. If Genzyme
             exercises all of its outstanding warrants, its ownership would
             be 27.8%.

         8.  SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK WARRANT EXERCISE:

             In March 2000, the Company issued a warrant call notice for
             450,000 warrants to purchase common stock which had been
             issued in connection with the Company's 1998 private
             placement. The notice permitted the Company to redeem the
             warrants unless they were exercised prior to redemption. Each
             warrant had an exercise price of $15.16 per share. All of the
             warrants were exercised in March prior to the redemption date,
             resulting in proceeds to the Company of $6.8 million.

         9.  ACQUISITION OF SMIG

             On September 29, 2000, the Company terminated a joint venture
             with Sumitomo Metals Industries, Ltd. and an affiliate
             ("Sumitomo") by issuing an aggregate of 333,334 shares of its
             common stock valued at approximately $11.1 million, plus
             transaction costs of $143,000. In exchange, Sumitomo
             transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company all of
             the outstanding shares of SMI Genzyme Ltd., a Japanese
             corporation, held by Sumitomo. As a result, the Company
             directly and indirectly holds all of the outstanding equity in
             SMI Genzyme Ltd., and has the exclusive marketing rights to
             transgenic technology in 18 Asian countries, including Japan.
             For accounting purposes, the value of the transaction was
             accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the entire purchase
             price of $11.2 million has been allocated to the value of the
             marketing rights, which are being amortized over 15 years
             based on the estimated economic useful life of these rights.

ITEM 2:      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2000 AND OCTOBER 3, 1999

Total revenues for the three-month period ending October 1, 2000 were $22.4
million, compared with $19.8 million for the comparable period in 1999, an
increase of $2.6 million or 13%. Service revenues from the Company's Primedica
subsidiary increased to $19.2 million in the third quarter of 2000 from $14.5
million in the third quarter of 1999, an increase of $4.7 million or 32%. The
increase in service revenues is due to an intentional shift in the mix of
Primedica services to faster growing service areas such as metabolism and
pharmacokinetics, formulation chemistry, analytical chemistry and bioproduction.
Research and development revenue from the Company's transgenic development
business decreased to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2000 from $5.2
million in the third quarter of 1999, a decrease of $2 million or 38%. The
decrease reflects the recognition of revenue in the 1999 period of $3.5 million
in performance based milestones from development programs, partially offset by
development revenue from a greater number of transgenic programs in 2000.

Cost of services for the third quarter of 2000 were $15.7 million compared to
$11.9 million for the comparable period in 1999, an increase of $3.8 million or
32% primarily due to the increase in revenues. Sponsored research and
development expenses increased to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2000 from
$3 million in the third quarter of 1999, an increase of $900,000 or 30%. The
increase in sponsored research and development expense was due to an increase in
the number of transgenic programs. Proprietary research and development expenses
decreased to $1 million in the third quarter of 2000 from $1.2 million in the
third quarter of 1999, a decrease of $200,000 or 17%, reflecting a reduction in
work being performed on proprietary research and development programs due to
allocation of personnel to funded research and development.

Gross profit, defined as revenues less service costs and research and
development costs, for the third quarter of 2000 was $1.8 million versus a gross
profit of $3.7 million in the third quarter of 1999. Gross margin on services
for the third quarter of both 2000 and 1999 was 18%. There was a loss of
$737,000 on sponsored research and development for the third quarter of 2000,
versus a gross profit of $2.2 million in the third quarter of 1999. The decrease
in sponsored research and development gross margin reflects the recognition of a
$3.5 million milestone in the third quarter of 1999, which significantly
increased gross margin for that period.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $5.1 million
in the third quarter of 2000 from $4.9 million in the third quarter of 1999, an
increase of $200,000 or 4%. The increase is primarily due to a non-cash expense
attributed to non-employee stock options.

                                         11

<PAGE>

Interest income increased to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2000, from
$19,000 in the third quarter of 1999, due to the investment of the proceeds
generated by the public offering in February 2000. Interest expense decreased to
$420,000 in the third quarter of 2000 from $654,000 in the third quarter of 1999
due to a decreased balance on outstanding borrowings in 2000.

The Company recognized $1 million of joint venture losses incurred on the joint
venture ("ATIII LLC") between the Company and Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme")
during the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $853,000 incurred during the
third quarter of 1999.

Due to the profitability of some of its contract research laboratories in
certain states, the Company has recorded a provision for state income taxes
during the third quarter of 2000.

NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2000 AND OCTOBER 3, 1999

Total revenues for the nine-month period ending October 1, 2000 were $62.5
million, compared with $53.1 million in the comparable period of 1999, an
increase of $9.4 million or 18%. Service revenues increased to $51.6 million
during the first nine months of 2000 from $41.9 million in the comparable period
of 1999, an increase of $9.7 million or 23%. The increase in service revenues is
due to an intentional shift in the mix of Primedica services to faster growing
service areas such as metabolism and pharmacokinetics, formulation chemistry,
analytical chemistry and bioproduction. Research and development revenue
decreased to $10.9 million during the first nine months of 2000 from $11.2
million in the comparable period of 1999, a decrease of $300,000 or 3%. The
decrease in research and development revenue is due to revenue earned in 1999 on
the achievement of $2 million and $3.5 million performance based milestones,
partially offset by revenue earned in 2000 from an increasing number of
transgenic programs.

Cost of services during the first nine months of 2000 were $43.4 million
compared to $35.5 million in the comparable period of 1999, an increase of $7.9
million or 22%, primarily due to the increase in revenues. Sponsored research
and development expenses increased to $10.4 million in the first nine months of
2000 from $7.8 million in the comparable period of 1999, an increase of $2.6
million or 33%. The increase in sponsored research and development expense is
due to an increase in the number of transgenic programs. Proprietary research
and development expenses decreased to $2.9 million in the first nine months of
2000 from $3.3 million in the comparable period of 1999, a decrease of $400,000
or 12%. The decrease is primarily due to a concentration of resources on
sponsored research and development programs in the first and third quarter of
2000. Proprietary research and development expenses fluctuate from quarter to
quarter.

As a result of increased revenues, gross profit for the first nine months of
2000 amounted to $5.8 million versus a gross profit of $6.5 million in the
comparable period of 1999. Gross profit on services for the first nine months of
2000 was $8.2 million, resulting in a gross margin of 16%, versus a gross profit
on services of $6.5 million, and a gross margin of 15%, in the comparable period
of 1999. The increase in services gross margin is primarily due to the increase
in revenues. Gross profit on sponsored research and development for the first
nine months of 2000 was $472,000, resulting in a gross margin of 4%, versus
gross profit on sponsored research and development of $3.4 million, and a gross
margin of 30%, in the comparable period of 1999. The decrease in sponsored
research and development gross margin is due to the impact of lump-sum milestone
revenue earned in the 1999 period, partially offset by an increase in the number
of transgenic programs in 2000.

SG&A expenses decreased to $14.3 million in the first nine months of 2000 from
$14.6 million in the comparable period of 1999, a decrease of $300,000 or 2%.
The decrease is primarily due to SG&A cost reductions at Primedica resulting
from its facility consolidation program and a decrease in the transgenic
insurance and legal expense, partially offset by the expense attributed to the
vesting and acceleration of non-employee stock options.

Interest income increased to $2.8 million in the first nine months of 2000, from
$39,000 in the comparable period of 1999, due to the investment of the proceeds
generated by the public offering in February 2000. Interest expense decreased to
$1.3 million in the first nine months of 2000 from $1.7 million in the
comparable period of 1999 due to a decreased balance on outstanding borrowings
in 2000. The Company did not record any other income in the first nine months of
2000, while it recorded $484,000 in the comparable period of 1999, due to the
receipt of an insurance settlement.

The Company recognized $3.2 million of joint venture losses incurred on ATIII
LLC between the Company and Genzyme during the first nine months of 2000 as
compared to $2.7 million incurred during the comparable period of 1999.

Due to the profitability of some of its contract research laboratories in
certain states, the Company has recorded a provision for state income taxes
during the first nine months of 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $69 million
at October 1, 2000. Of this amount, cash and cash equivalents totaled $35.3
million at October 1, 2000. During the first nine months of 2000, the Company
had a $27.6 million net increase in cash. Sources of funds during the period
included $88.9 million of net proceeds from issuance of common stock comprised
of $75 million from the public offering, $6.8 million from the exercise of
warrants and $7.1 million from the issuance of common stock under various
employee stock plans. Uses of funds during the period included $42.7 million
used to purchase marketable securities, $15.8 million used to pay down the bank
revolving credit line, which remains fully available for future borrowing, $2.7
million used in operations, $6 million invested in capital equipment, further
expansion of the transgenic production facility and Primedica's laboratory
facilities and $2.2 million invested in the ATIII LLC. As a result of the 2000
public offering, the Genzyme credit line was eliminated.

The Company had working capital of $63.8 million at October 1, 2000 compared to
a deficit of $13.9 million at January 2, 2000. As of October 1, 2000 the Company
had $15.8 million available under a line of credit with a commercial bank, $2.9
million available under various capital lease lines and $793,000 available under
a term loan for facility expansion. The Company is preparing plans for expansion
of its transgenic production facilities in Central Massachusetts as well as
establishment of a second production site in order to facilitate growth in the

                                         13

number of development programs and commercialization of ongoing transgenic
programs. Although no significant contractual commitments have been made, it is
anticipated that this capital expansion will cost approximately $2.1 million in
the second half of 2000 and approximately $3.9 million in 2001.

As announced by the Company, on November 2, 2000, the Company and Genzyme
Corporation executed a non-binding letter of intent which contemplates the
purchase by GTC of Genzyme's interest in the ATIII LLC, the joint venture
between the two companies. The letter of intent is subject to approval of both
companies' Boards of Directors. In the event that the Company does acquire
Genzyme's interest in the ATIII LLC, our funding obligations for the ATIII
development program in 2001 and thereafter will substantially increase. In
addition, the Company has modified the clinical plan for ATIII, and our BLA
submission to the FDA will, under the new plan, be expected in 2002.

Under the Company's current operating plan, existing cash balances along with
funds available under the bank and lease lines are expected to be sufficient to
fund the Company through the next few years.

Management's current expectations regarding the sufficiency of the Company's
cash resources are forward-looking statements, and the Company's cash
requirements may vary materially from such expectations. Such forward-looking
statements are dependent on several factors, including the results of the
Company's Primedica business, the ability of the Company to enter into
transgenic research and development collaborations in the future and the terms
of such collaborations, the results of research and development and preclinical
and clinical testing, competitive and technological advances and regulatory
requirements. If the Company experiences increased losses, the Company may have
to seek additional financing through collaborative arrangements or from public
or private sales of its securities, including equity securities. There can be no
assurance that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, if at all. If additional financing cannot be obtained on acceptable
terms, to continue its operations the Company could be forced to delay, scale
back or eliminate certain of its research and development programs or to enter
into license agreements with third parties for the commercialization of
technologies or products that the Company would otherwise undertake itself.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation" ("FIN 44"), an interpretation of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). FIN 44
provides guidance for certain issues that arise in applying APB 25. The adoption
of FIN 44 has not had a significant effect on our financial position and results
of operations.

ITEM 3:      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company invests cash balances in excess of operating requirements in
short-term marketable securities generally government backed obligations and
corporate obligations with an average maturity of less than one year. All
marketable securities are considered available for sale. Because of the quality
of the investment portfolio and the short-term nature of the marketable
securities, the Company does not believe that interest rate fluctuations would
impair the principal amount of the securities. There have been no other material
changes in the Company's market risk since January 2, 2000. The Company's market
risk disclosures are discussed in its Form 10-K for the year ended January 2,
2000 under the heading Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk.

   ITEM 2:      CHANGES IN SECURITIES

    In September 2000, in order to terminate a joint venture between the
    Company and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. and an affiliate
    ("Sumitomo"), the Company issued an aggregate of 333,334 shares of its
    common stock to Sumitomo. In exchange, Sumitomo transferred to a wholly
    owned subsidiary of the Company all of the outstanding shares of SMI
    Genzyme Ltd., a Japanese corporation, held by Sumitomo. As a result,
    the Company directly and indirectly holds all of the outstanding equity
    in SMI Genzyme Ltd. The Company believes that the issuance to Sumitomo
    qualified as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering
    within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
